Traction control systemThe traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by regulating engine
power as needed until traction is re-
stored. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light flashes to let the rider know that
traction control has engaged.TIPThe rider may also notice slight chang-
es in engine and exhaust sounds when
the traction control system is engaged.
WARNING
EWA15432
The traction control system is not a
substitute for ri din g appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction d ue
to excessive spee d when enterin g
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any motorcycle, ap- proach surfaces that may
be
slippery with caution an d avoi d es-
pecially slippery surfaces.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
traction control system automatically
turns on.
The traction control system can be
turned on or off manually only when
the key is in the “ON” position and the
motorcycle is stopped.TIPTurn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the motorcy-
cle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other
soft surfaces.NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 6-19.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
Turnin g on/off the traction control
system
WARNING
EWA15441
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
traction control system. Chan gin g
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.To turn off the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button on the multi-
function meter unit for at least 2 sec-
onds. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light will come on.
To turn on the traction control system,
push the “TCS” button again. The
“TCS” indicator/warning light will go
off.

3Resetting
The traction control system will be dis-
abled in the following conditions: The rear wheel is rotated with the
centerstand down and the key in
the “ON” position.
 Either the front wheel or rear wheel
comes off the ground while riding.
 Excessive rear wheel spinning.
If the traction control system has been
disabled, both the “TCS” indica-
tor/warning light and the engine trou-
ble warning light come on. To reset the traction control system
Turn the key to “OFF”. Wait at least 1
second, then turn the key back to
“ON”. The “TCS” indicator/warning
light should go off and the system will
be enabled. The engine trouble warn-
ing light should go off after the motor-
cycle reaches at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h). If the “TCS” indicator/warning
light and/or engine trouble warning
light still remain on after resetting, the
motorcycle may still be ridden; howev-
er, have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle as soon as possible.

TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING

Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refueling , follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.

TIPThis model is equipped with:  a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the display will indicate error
code 30, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. Turn the key to “OFF” and
then to “ON” to clear the error
code. Failing to do so will prevent
the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
pushing the start switch.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start
switch to restart the engine.

In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils lab eled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.10. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.TIPAfter the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if
the oil level is sufficient.
NOTICE

If the oil level warnin g li ght flickers
or remains on even if the oil level is
correct, imme diately turn the en gine
off an d have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.11. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

Final gear oilThe final gear case must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the vehicle. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as fol-
lows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
WARNING

 Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.To check the final g ear oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.TIPMake sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can re-
sult in a false reading.

To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.TIPThe coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
 Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.2. Remove the left cowling vent pan-
el. (See page 3-37.)
3. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir.TIPThe coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the coolant is at or below theminimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap.
5. Add coolant or distilled water to raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant reservoir cap.
WARNING! Re-
move only the coolant reservoir
cap. Never attempt to remove
the ra diator cap when the en-
g ine is hot.
[EWA15162]
NOTICE: If
coolant is not availa ble, use dis-
tille d water or soft tap water in-
stead . Do not use har d water or
salt water since it is harmful to
the en gine. If water has b een
use d instea d of coolant, replace
it with coolant as soon as possi-
b le, otherwise the coolin g sys-
tem will not be protected

7windshield. Before using them, make a
test by polishing an area which does
not affect your visibility.
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom- mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean- er to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the motorcycle dry completely before storing or covering it.
